BackstageViewControl.Controller Property

Allows you to assign a BarAndDockingController to the control, to manipulate the control’s appearance settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
public virtual BarAndDockingController Controller { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
BarAndDockingController null

A BarAndDockingController object that provides default look and feel options for the BackstageViewControl.

#Remarks

If the Controller property is set to null (Nothing in Visual Basic) and the BackstageViewControl is used within a RibbonControl, the BackstageViewControl uses the appearance settings provided by the RibbonControl.GetController method.

If the Controller property is set to null and the BackstageViewControl control is not bound to a RibbonControl, the appearance settings are obtained from the Default BarAndDocking Controller. This represents a static object accessible via the BarAndDockingController.Default property or via the DefaultBarAndDockingController component.

If you explicitly assign a BarAndDockingController object to the Controller property, this controller’s settings will manage the BackstageViewControl‘s appearance.

The actual controller that is used by the BackstageViewControl can be obtained via the BackstageViewControl.GetController method.
